Neonatal meningococcal conjunctivitis associated with meningococcal meningitis.

M Ellis1, A M Weindling, D C Davidson, N Ho, V Damjanovic.   

Abstract

Two infants are described in whom identical strains of meningococcus were isolated from both the eyes and the cerebrospinal fluid. This suggests that the eye may be a portal of entry in at least some cases of perinatally acquired neonatal meningococcal disease and has important implications for the management of purulent conjunctivitis in the newborn.
